Support for Spartan possible?

[dajoe]

Is there any knowledge on the spartan models? I am considering a purchase and might be able to contribute. However, if this is out of scope of this project or too difficult to implement, I might stick to the Ambit, while they are still available.

So the current situation is that the original maintainers are pretty much inactive, and there doesn't seem to be someone around anymore in the project with reverse engineering experience (someone please correct me if I'm wrong!). On my part I'm looking at keeping the project alive, but I can't give you a good answer as far as spartan feasibility is concerned unfortunately.

I am looking for any opensource way to sync without being forced to push / publish my data into the cloud and I am considering Spartan or Garmin new 5S but both company force to use their cloud/app to update/use enhance capabilities...
Would be great to get the Spartan supported..

re the spartan, all the reverse engineering work was mainly done by @svenstorp. I've no experience with that. I do have some good contacts at Suunto, I'll try to see if they would be cooperative regarding the protocol layout

Can help coding as well. Maybe also reversing the protocol. But lets wait if maybe suunto is willing to help! :)

unfortunately not yet

Hi Marco. I’m Markus from product management. Randel forwarded your request to give support regarding the Spartan communication protocol for OpenAmbit project. I’m sorry to say that we don’t have to capacity to support this kind of activity as we have our hands full specifying and executing our own work. Not impossible that we some day will open the communication a bit for external developers, but we want to manage that well and if we do it also serve a bigger audience and that’s why we currently are not able to help with this.

Did someone ever start on comparing the Ambit and Spartan communication protocol ?
Had a quick look and saw already some ascii readable stuff flying by.

[mbernasocchi]

@KrisBoulez not really I guess.

It is on my Summer-TODO-list.
Will see what it brings

Does anyone has a PCAP file from a sync with a Spartan for me? I would like to compare the protocol. Thanks in advance

[KrisBoulez]

I have some pcap's lying around. Will dig them up and post later this week Kris

Issue #232 talks about the same thing and has some USB captures and some more information on this topic, so I am closing this one as duplicate.
